  • As his father became emperor in 285, he was regarded as crown prince who would eventually follow his father on the throne. He seems not to have served in any important military or administrative position during Diocletian's and his father's reign, though. Early (the exact date is unknown) he married Valeria Maximilla, the daughter of Galerius. He had two sons, Valerius Romulus (ca. 295 – 309) and an unknown one.

      i think that he must have been excited when he was crowned prince. i think that he followed the same footsteps as his father. also that he was ready to take the throne from his father.

      i think that he was too young to have sons. i would like to know how old the other one was. i would have liked to know that because i wanted to know his age. he might have been older or younger than his brother.

  • Decimus Iunius Iuvenalis, known in English as Juvenal, was a Roman poet active in the late 1st and early 2nd century AD, author of the Satires. The details of the author's life are unclear, although references within his text to known persons of the late 1st and early 2nd centuries AD fix his terminus post quem (earliest date of composition).

      i think that the nick name juvenal was given to him because he did something wrong. I also think that he liked writng poems and then he got tired. Also that he spended his time at home.he was a good poet.
  • Juvenal wrote at least 16 poems in dactylic hexameter covering an encyclopedic range of topics across the Roman world

      i think that 16 poems is alot to write. Espeacilly all the way back then. also that people admired his poems. He must have taken a long time doimg all of his work. also i think that he took his time and admired his work.
  • large majority of ancient texts were lost

      i think that it is very bad that such a large variety of texts were lost. also that the person in charge of that should have gotton in to trouble. We could have used those texts to help us with many things found around that area in ancient rome. I also think it is ver bad that those texts were lost.

      I thinnk that rome saw its terrotory expand during the 450 b.c . Also that i think its is very good that during the first 2 centuries rome expanded to the point of dominating Italy. Also I think that Rome is a very big place and it should have more territorys. I think this because it is a very historical place.
  • Roman Republic was the phase of the ancient Roman civilization characterized by a republican form of government; a period which began with the overthrow of the Roman monarchy, c. 509 BC, and lasted over 450 years until its subversion, through a series of civil wars, into the Principate form of government and the Imperial period.

      I think that it should have lasted atleast 50 more years. This way it would have been 500 years b.c. . Also I think that the ancient roman civilazation over threw the roman monarchy becuase they were tired of the same thing. I also think that they wanted a change after soo long.
  • Roman literature was from its very inception influenced heavily by Greek authors. Some of the earliest works we possess are of historical epics telling the early military history of Rome. As the republic expanded, authors began to produce poetry, comedy, history, and tragedy. Virgil represents the pinnacle of Roman epic poetry. His Aeneid tells the story of flight of Aeneas from Troy and his settlement of the city that would become Rome. Lucretius, in his On the Nature of Things, attempted to explicate science in an epic poem. The genre of satire was common in Rome, and satires were written by, among others, Juvenal[92] and Persius. The rhetorical works of Cicero are considered to be some of the best bodies of correspondence recorded in antiquity.

  • In the 3rd century BC, Greek art taken as booty from wars became popular, and many Roman homes were decorated with landscapes by Greek artists. Portrait sculpture[93] during the period utilized youthful and classical proportions, evolving later into a mixture of realism and idealism. Advancements were also made in relief sculptures, often depicting Roman victories.
  • The city of Rome had a place called the Campus Martius ("Field of Mars"), which was a sort of drill ground for Roman soldiers. Later, the Campus became Rome’s track and field playground. In the campus, the youth assembled to play and exercise, which included jumping, wrestling, boxing and racing. Riding, throwing, and swimming were also preferred physical activities. In the countryside, pastime also included fishing and hunting. Board games played in Rome included Dice (Tesserae or Tali), Roman Chess (Latrunculi), Roman Checkers (Calculi), Tic-tac-toe (Terni Lapilli), and Ludus duodecim scriptorum and Tabula, predecessors of backgammon.[96] There were several other activities to keep people engaged like chariot races, musical and theatrical performances,
  • During this period, an army formation of around 5,000 men (of both heavy and light infantry) was known as a legion. The manipular army was based upon social class, age and military experience.[104] Maniples were units of 120 men each drawn from a single infantry class. The maniples were typically deployed into three discreet lines based on the three heavy infantry types. Each first line maniple were leather-armoured infantry soldiers who wore a brass breastplate and a brass helmet adorned with 3 feathers approximately 30 cm (12 in) in height and carried an iron-clad wooden shield. They were armed with a sword and two throwing spears. The second

      Thats totally different from how our armys are today. Today it really doesnt matter if you are tougher or if you are weaker. Now they just line you up in order from tallest to shorttest. Now in days there are various kinds of armys and they order them in many different ways.
  • Life in the Roman Republic revolved around the city of Rome, and its famed seven hills. The city also had several theaters.[73] gymnasiums, and many taverns, baths and brothels
  • The heavy infantry of the maniples were supported by a number of light infantry and cavalry troops, typically 300 horsemen per manipular legion.[106] The cavalry was drawn primarily from the richest class of equestrians.

      Now in days it doesnt matter whos richer or poor.If you can afford it you can have it. If you cant offord what you want you might as well not buy anything at all. I think that now 300 horse men are too much people to do this kind of a job.
